After beating Winona I went down to Lilycove and beat May.
Then I went over to Mt. Pyre to beat Team Aqua, got TM 30 Shadow Ball here and taught it to Lights.
Then I went to Team Magma's hideout and beat Maxie, his Camerupt almost destroyed me, I had to spam items till he ran out of Rock Slides. :/
Then I went to Team Aqua's hideout only to have Archie escape...
FINALLY I can go to Mossdeep, I'm tired of chasing after evil teams...
So I get to Mossdeep and decide that now is a good time to grind up Ninja.
So thats what I did, I got Ninja up to level 38 so he could learn Metal Claw and finally let him evolve.
Now I got the two final members of my team, and
I also went to Fallabor and used the Move Relearner to teach Shedinja Shadow Ball and Confuse Ray.
Now for the gym, got utterly DESTROYED!!! I hate Claydols now....
Grinded a little bit more and tried again. This time things went my way
vs (I really wish these two could be in sync...)

I plan to finish Emerald tonight, lets hope I actually go through with it. Emerald is probably my least favorite region, tied with Sinnoh, but the farther I get with my bug types the more I'm enjoying it. Hopefully its the same for Pearl cause thats next.
